Abstract

Electronic states in por-Si are investigated by the pulsed surface photovoltage technique using the por-Si/c-Si interface as probe. The values of the potentials at the por-Si/n-Si and at the por-Si/p-Si interface are -0.05 V and +0.47 V, respectively. Non-monotonous photovoltage transients related to trapping in por-Si are observed. The traps can be annealed at 150°C and generated in H20 atmosphere.
